Hello Phil,
I knew you didn't have the tri-band "E" version, that you had the KG-UV8D. I just wanted to show you a site that had the latest Wouxun software for the D version and perhaps later or latest software for your UV8D model.
I sent my software and cable back two times thinking it was defective. It wasn't but was wrong was that the Official Wouxun China site only had the E model software that did NOT work! Can you believe that?
I guess there is no more modern software for your UV8D model.
Just a hopeful observation.

Hi David, The software on the website you mentioned is the same software I have already. The radio's front and rear stickers show KG-UV8D, so it's definitely not the tri-band "E" model.
I've installed a serial port monitoring application on my computer and I can see CHIRP ping the radio and the radio respond, so that should rule out the cable. Is the response from this radio the expected response? Again, the cable and software work flawlessly on the Baofeng UV-5R, so again, the cable should be good.
Thanks.
